As the use of computers was spreading across the globe, computers themselves
not only became increasingly useful tools for the research community, but their
evolving network attracted growing academic interest. As a research tool the
computer become the subject of research itself. In a pioneering work by Csabai
in 1994 [1]} the traffic fluctuations of the then Internet as it
existed at the time was investigated. The author found that the power spectrum
of the traffic delays is \(1/f\) -like, similarly to other collective phenomena,
e.g., highway traffic. Nowadays, a new interdisciplinary science is forming to
explore and model complex networks [2]}, in particular the
Internet.
